Gippsland ‘Summer Orange Round’ 2021

Join us for Gippsland ‘Summer Orange Round’ a stand against family violence and men’s violence against women and children and showcasing gender equality in sport.

Many sporting clubs are already doing a lot of great work in creating more inclusive spaces for women and girls and initiatives such as the Orange Round are an excellent means of highlighting some of this work and encouraging other clubs to consider how their environments could be more equitable for all participants.
